Storyline

In Spain, the sports journalist Juan has a perfect life with his wife Sonia: they have just had a baby and moved to an old house that needs to be repaired in a fancy neighborhood. When Juan's sister and her husband visit the couple, they give them an electronic nanny to monitor the baby's room. During the night, Juan and Sonia hear voices in the room but they do not find anybody. On the next day, Juan hires an alarm system for the house and a monitor to observe the baby's room. When Juan sees a man in the room, he gets a knife to protect his son. However, Sonia believes her husband is insane and moves to her mother's house. Juan investigates the happening with the former journalist Domingo, who explains him the paradoxical experiment Schrodinger's Cat and the existence of parallel worlds. Further, he advises the obsessed Juan to leave the house otherwise could be trapped in another world.

Did You Know?

Domingo:
In a crate sits a cat and a particle that kills the cat, with a possibility of 50%, within an hour. As long as the crate is closed, how could you know if the cat is dead or alive? Juan:
I don't know. Domingo:
Nobody knows. Actually the cat is dead and alive at the same time. The person that opens the crate decides which option becomes reality. Juan:
I don't understand... Domingo:
No human understands. Those are only speculations. But the quantum physics brought men to the moon. That is reality. Like you and me, or this whiskey. Juan:
Does that mean we could assume parallel realities do exist? Domingo:
In the '50s yes, nowadays nobody believes that. I only believe what I see, and I don't see anything. A parapsychologist would say, what happens in that house is a fraction between possibilities. One of them happens over and over again, a man that kills his wife and his kid. Every day. At the same time, and forever. Juan:
What can be done to stop that? Domingo:
Nothing. You can watch but you can't interact. If you try to save the cat, you eventually end up in the crate.See more »
